Morris Minor Owners Club

Another week in the books...any week cutting and tacking and welding again... Took almost a week to get these new parts into the compound...they got lost in New Jersey for several days.... https://i.postimg.cc/PxBJM4hx/20220214-205207.jpg But looks kids...we got it back in the old heap... https://i....

I hope you DO get your Minor completed and then are able to drive and enjoy it a little. I think you might be surprised by just how well a Minor drives. The suspension - and particularly the steering were streets ahead of anything comparable at the time and even today I think that the Minor steerin...

Seeing that solid shaft steering column sticking way up above the dash...that is stuff that is never fun to recover from... But yes that is exactly what I was thinking about when I started this thread... But then there is the old adage "When it is your time to go...it is your time to go".....

Hi Morris Minor folks I have been reassembling the front end on my old 1959 Morris Minor and I have torn apart and put back together a lot of older and some newer cars too (1990's vintage Dodge Neons)...the older stuff has been of German decent and American iron...this front assembly I have never ev...

this sums it up for sure...

Not sure but a package from the fine folks at ESM got lost.... I am not wasting time while I wait for it... https://i.postimg.cc/bJxtLZVj/20220210-181341.jpg Where the back seat mounts....well there was stuff going on...so we did the ole cut cut cut...tac tac tac....grind grind grind... https://i.po...

I got mine from ESM...really nice stuff too... https://i.postimg.cc/wvMd81Hq/20211219-111000.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Y0mK0ThT/20211219-120607.jpg I swapped out the spring hanger bushings too while I was in there pulling stuff apart... I am not restoring just trying to save this old heap... Good luc...

I remember my father telling us kids that one of the reasons he made us drive his Mercedes Benz cars that even back in 1968 those cars already had crumple zones built into them...I was spoiled and I never knew it... Thanks for posting those videos...I think I had seen the part with old Chevy and the...

Do not recognise the internal metal bush sleeves in the picture with the top trunnion pin. Where did you extract those sleeves from as they are not ex factory items? I am a total newbie...all I know is took this stuff out to swap out with new ESM parts... I learned a bunch this weekend...it started...

Boy did I learn something new last week...Before I got the old heap the former owner told me that he had snapped off one of the studs on the left front hub...and he was gracious enough to include a new one lug stud and lug nut too... https://i.postimg.cc/fLGcbQtB/20220131-172749.jpg I had been tread...

I am really not terrified to drive it I just don't think it will be fun to drive it... In my past lives when I was driving my other older vehicles...I always felt safer than if I was on a motor cycle...the craziest one I had was a 1947 Willys CJ2A...the traffic hated me....everyone had to pass me ju...

Anyone who felt unsafe in a vehicle, would be best getting rid of it, don’t you think? Hardly enjoyable. I am thinking once I get this old heap up and running trying to sell it...I am still having a fun saving it but I don't really want to drive it on the roadways...hearing this makes total sense t...

Hey Mick I have a Kerosene furnace but I have not run it in years....I wear layers to keep warm...laying on the freezing cold cement floor welding over head is the worse...grinding on my back is not too fun either My wife did get me a little electric space heater which will take the edge off... I ty...

Hi Morris Minor Owners As I toil around on my very first Morris Minor...I still notice how light weight this vehicle actually is...no extra supports any where on it...the floors are so thin too.... The B pillar on my 2 door so skinny....gonna be fun mounting seat belts to it but I will figure it out...

I set new world record for my Morris Minor.... I did all by myself....count em....Four (4) patches in one day...my head is still spinning from all the grinding and cutting and welding... https://i.postimg.cc/ydWLPRfw/20220128-182527.jpg This is on the right side where the fender and the quarter pane...

So stoked...got the right rear leaf spring back up in the socket where it belongs....brandy new plastic bushings too...pretty red ones at that... https://i.postimg.cc/JntBHzs7/20220127-172643.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/W4NZjnjk/20220127-170713.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/FHQcCvBG/20220127-174031.jpg Tryi...

Been cold at the homestead... https://i.postimg.cc/1t5MmtgR/20220119-162247.jpg The old man needed new sneakers again...the ones were really old and weather checked...found 4 of them online for less than $200.00 for all of them... https://i.postimg.cc/y8mT09cY/20220120-175742.jpg Not sure what I was...

Hi Morris Minor fans... Please forgive me for my cobbled up mess I call a Morris Minor...I am not a Morris Minor guy at all...I love the looks of them but I am more or less an old time oval track race car guy...old truck guy...old Willys Jeep guy and rat rodder too... I don't restore cars...I rebuil...

Had some time to get more cutting and welding done on the ole heap... https://i.postimg.cc/59TyJ06f/20220112-172204.jpg a little before shot here.... https://i.postimg.cc/FKrspknV/20220112-190217.jpg I found one of the pieces I bought from the fine folks at ESM I had cut apart but I found that the b...
